Lupita Nyong'o Sparks Gay Rumors After Getting Affectionate with Singer Janelle Monae

The sexuality of Kenyan-Mexican Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong'o is being questioned on social media following the emergence of controversial photos and videos on social media.

This comes after the 36-year-old was captured on tape getting cozy with musician Janelle Monae, sparking lesbian rumors.

In the videos and images shared online, Lupita and Janelle are seen dancing together during an event dubbed Met Gala 2019, an annual fundraiser in support of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York.

During the dance, the Black Panther actress gets affectionate with Janelle, who is openly gay.

The incident has left online users speculating that the two may be in a romantic relationship.

"I don't really get invested in celebrity relationships, but if Janelle Monae and Lupita Nyong'o are really dating, I might die," a Twitter user named Sierra Siwa said.

Others claim Janelle was trying to get her former girlfriend Tessa Thompson 'jealous.' 

"My theory is that Tessa Thompson and Janelle Monáe broke up and are both trying to make the other jealous with Lupita Nyongo," says Bianca. 

The two are yet to respond to the rumors.

@Really: You need to be enlightened. Why should you associate HIV/AIDS with homosexuality. Small mind big mouth. Do your research before you open your mouth. You will be surprised if you find yourself with the Virus. It's no big deal for those who have it, they are human beings like anyone else.

I am not gay, and not in love with anybody here on earth or in heaven but it is better to be gay rather than the Kenyan policy of 1 man 2 wives and it is not really 2 wives but many women. Women are doing the same. So which is one better?
If you talk about Sodom and Gomorrah- God created 1 man and 1 woman, right?
Please mind your business.

Mambo mengine ni ya kupoteza wakati tu. Kwangu, jambo lililo muhimu ni:

1. Kujenga jela nyingi na kuwajaza majambazi wanaopora mali ya serikali ndani yake na pia kuchukua vitu vyote walivyo navyo sasa vinavyotokana na wizi.
2. Kujenga viwanda vingi na kuwasaidia vijana kuweza kupata ajira (employment) ili tuweze kumaliza wizi a utumiaji wa mabavu na pia kuwanyakulia wananchi mali yao.
3. Viongozi wa serikali ya Kenya kuketi na Wasomali kwenye mazungumzo ili kuuleta umoja na mawasiliano baina ya Wasomali na Wakenya wote.
4. Kumaliza mambo ya hongo inayotokana na askari polisi wanaojiongezea mishahara kutokana na kuwapora pesa wananchi barabarani kila siku.
5. Usalama nchini 24/4
6. Kumwondoa W A F U L A C H E B U K A T I kazini mara moja, ili watu watakaogombea uchaguzi 2022 wawe wamepita mtihani wa Sura ya Sita kwenye katiba yetu mpya.
7. Kuhakikisha ya kwamba tumepata viongozi wapya ambao si wanafunzi wa zamani wa mkristo, Mzee, Professor wa Siasa, Dr. Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi.

8. Kufanya kazi kwa bidii ili Wachina warudi kwao na kutuachia nchi yetu.

Mambo ya ngono (sex) ni tabia ya mtu binafsi. Hata akitaka kuolewa na mbwa au kumwoa mbwa ni shauri yake.

you have no write to speak curses on other races or death. If I can see that being 15 years old and you cant that's sad. I am black and I know so many hard working black citizens and if you didn't like us so much why did your freaking ancestors bring us to America, why do you guys copy so many of our trends, did nobody ever tell you if you don't have something nice to say don't speak. your racist period.

Well said Ndugu Imara Daima. Corruption, employment, health , wealth,safely/security,education ,to name afew are what the majority of Kenyans should be concerned with,and to an extend most are.
As I have always said, studies tell us that in every human society,there has always existed about 10 % of homosexuals. Therefore the 90% heterosexuals should not be concerned that the human population will not multiply,or whatever reason they give to object homosexuality.
We have been brought up to believe that sexuality comes in a neat binary bundle-Male-female.But studies are revealing that this is not the case.And that sexuality is fluid-,on a continuum that is -We have extreme homosexuals on one end,and extreme heterosexuals on the other extreme end,and in between there lies all permutations Yes I know its hard to comprehend these new information when we have all along been told that there are only two categories,male,and female...This is SCIENCE speaking,and if anyone has contrary evidence that is scientific, please produce.We should not assume that what we have been told for many years thus far is absolute,especially when it comes to sex.Those interested to farther their knowledge in this department can do some googling to find out how men and women differ sexually. For example i read somewhere that heterosexual women can be turned on watching dogs mount,or gay men doing it,but this is not the case with heterosexual men,and that women have more tendency of being bi-sexual than men.And this is universal,so dont contradict me by saying hii ni mambo ya wazungu. Its is human behavior Iam talking about.
Its best to look at this things with open mind, instead of brandishing it as rubbish because it contradicts your beliefs,especially those derived from religion.
Therefore should Lupita turn out to be bi,or gay,that will not surprise me nor will I lose sleep over it,but will be very happy if she invests her millions in Kenya...My two cents.

F#§k That! Kisii men dance together in social gatherings, pubs etc. They get cozier than these two. Does this mean they are gay.

FYI Kisii men do this because they don't take their wives/ girlfriends out on dates so they end up wanaume tupu😎

When you batter your wife leaving her face swollen with bruises and lacerations, the last thing you want is to take her out. Better dance with your bestie before you go back for round two of battering at 2 am.

My science confuses me when I look at animals which are considered by scientist as living by instinct yet they always seem to get it right when they mate as male & female unlike educated & learned men who jump & service their fellow men on their rear bumps shamelessly! Pooh!

@ Andrews, we would also get it right if women released pheromones,and all we had to do is to weight till our females inheat release these hormones,then we mount them.Having said this, there is evidence that animals do engage in homosexuality.

@Mkenya halisi, you had to jump in like that! I sometimes think your hatred of diasporas blind you to the fact that the world has become as one due to globalisation, media, internet, etc. The last I was in Kenya, I saw things I never dreamt possible in Kenya. Wanaume wakimezeana mate, hand in hand, crotch to crotch.....na wanawake waki fight over another female, equally salivating over one another. We are all susceptible to the same worries for our kids, be it in Kenya ama Ulaya. We wacha! Chuki mingi haisaidii ndugu!! I used to dance with my friends, chini kwa chini, chakacha na kathalika...no one ever accused us of being gay, rather it was a provocation for the guys to come join in the fun and for us to show off what we were made of, claim the dance floor and possibly bag that cute dude taking his time to take bait! Clearly mambo yamebadilika sana!

Mkenya halisi….you've veered off subject yet again! I never accused you of being illegal. I just notice you tend to crack the whip all too often when it comes to all things considered "negative" coming from diaspora! Give us a break, I am sure given half a chance, most of us would love to be back home and basking in the dough, just like you insinuate you do. Lakini, Maisha ni Maisha...I for one is just tying to make lemonade from the lemon given to me...and for that, I am grateful.
